You are probably right, but you should double-check p_class.txt or
wherever
they are set. That comment has been incorrect before, whether in V or
some
variant I no longer remmeber.

My opinion is that they should all be the same. Fighters should get 2
bonus
blows, 0% fail spellcasters should get 0 bonus blows, and the rest should
get
1 bonus blow. Or perhaps the difference should be that stats should be
really
different, and fighters will always have more str and dex to get more
blows.
The table would need to be redone, but I would be happy to figure out
reasonable values to approximate the current situation if that is desired.
There is also the question of at which cLevels to grant the bonus blows.
Perhaps 1 and 20 would be reasonable choices.
